[ANN] How to run an optimized Tor node on the Monero network

This video is a walk through on how to run an optimized Tor node. I worked with Ofrnxmr on this to make sure that all the information is up-to-date and correct. The goal was to create a beginner-friendly walk through that highlights everything needed to ensure that you are sending transactions over Tor, that you are receiving incoming peer connections over Tor, and that your node will continue helping out the clearnet as well. Additionally, the config includes an option … ⌘ Read more

Mozhno poluchit’ orbot app i tor magical.fish .

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci exit nodes and tor traffic that is contained within tor network is two separate things. And I do know what I’m talking about. I ran a exit node for a long time, rented vps in sweden, police raided there, then came at my door the next morning because someone sent angela merkel a threatening email through my exit node. Blocking exit nodes does not shut down hidden services because hidden service traffic never leaves the tor network.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci anyone can run a exit node. Show me a case where a hidden service was taken over without regular investigation etc.
The biggest darknet markets where taken down due to misconfigurations or mistakes leading them to leak IP and such , not because tor is compromised or that some agency ran a exit node.
A hidden service’s traffic never goes through a exit node, only passes through middle nodes and everything stays encrypted.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci how? Monero + tor or i2p. Try and block that.

Tor is technically installed but something is wrong with my system and almost everything I install is outdated. I tried making a hidden service and it generated a v2 address. That is how outdated my Tor daemon is lmao

bd1c8: Is tor daemon installed, configured and running? See man 1 torsocks also.

@GopherChat@magical.fish Just install lynx, and tor, and then set proxy?

Edit /etc/lynx-site.cfg
Add:
http_proxy:http://proxy.abc.xyz:8080

The US put tornadocash on sanction list. Deleted github accounts and source. Since North Korea used it to launder stolen crypto.
And people are surprised that it happened? Github is and never have been a safe place to store code. Tor/i2p is much more safer places to host code. But I understand why people use github, I do so as well for public project, but I also selfhost my other things

It’s permanently changing user agents and ignoring robots.txt. It ignores HTTP status codes. I’m currently serving it 4MB binary garbage in form of Link.
